You have read that the transmission has software intelligence to adjust the speed of the shift and the paddle response time to your style of driving. The more time your accelerator pedal spends on the floor board, the faster the transmission shifts as it learns you are a sporting driver. Like most of you, I didn't buy this AMG for "grandmother smooth" shifting, but want fast responding paddle shifts at all times. I tried some aggressive driving to teach this transmission what I wanted, but could never get much change from it. I even called the local dealer asking if the program could be adjusted to speed up the shift times (the answer is that it is not adjustable even to the technicians). The problem with flooring the pedal for even a few seconds is obviously that your speed goes past the level limit very fast. Is there some way to teach it without getting into legal trouble? I think I have found it. It's almost too obvious. Drive up to 45mph in 6th gear. Floor it and keep it floored for 30 seconds, jabbing the brake with your left foot if you pick up too much speed (don't worry since there is not much acceleration available at 1500 rpms). The transmission will not shift down from 6th. Do this again for another 30 seconds and that should be enough. The transmission learns its lesson. Now you will get very fast responses even with as little as quarter throttle acceleration. Watch out though since the transmission will start to unlearn this and go back to casual shifting. So give it a good 30 seconds of full throttle every time you go out.

or you can do this, it resets the adaptives in the TCU

FWIW that thread states that it does not work on the 6.3.

sorry my bad then

You need to clear adaptations using WIS (the workshop computer).
